Every fall, Paris hosts its annual "Nuit Blanche". Museums, historical monuments, pools, and many buildings usually closed to the public are kept open all night for free visits. Street and indoor theatre performances and concerts, art exhibits, decorated neighborhoods, and anything else you can think of attract hordes of people. This is one of the only nights where you have no idea what time it is because the city stays alive and wide awake. This year's Nuit Blanche (2006) is October 7th.

The 2007 Nuit Blanche will take place on the night of October 6th to 7th, with events stretching along the 14 line of the Métro, from Batignolles to Olympiades. We presume this is to celebrate the opening of the new Olympiades station.
The White Night trend is spreading throughout Europe and the world. There are now similar festivals in Rome, Madrid, Toronto, Brussels, Malta, and Bucharest.
